Quote:
With any of my badgers, be they 2 band or finest, or silvertip or best, I have to put more effort into actually making the lather than with the boar. More swirls in the bowl, more swirls on the face, and just more 'elbow work' in general. But, I'll have enough lather for at least three solid passes with very good lather.
To any new man to wet shaving, I'd say steer clear of badger brushes, just buy two boars and away you go. A good Semogue, 1305 for instance, will easily match a top of the line badger brush in every department, and for a fraction of the price.
Words of wisdom. And experience. With which I concur totally.
